Hmmm...defense shredded. Poor tackling. O-line inconsistent, and the Kincaid turnover was a killer. Running game not established and the Bills had 10 days of preparation. Time to rebuild. Keep Allen, Torrence, Diggs, McGovern, Bates, and Edwards. Keep Shakir and Kincaid. Keep Cook and one of the ver running backs..not Gilliam, a wasted spot. If possible, lower cap hits on Allen and Diggs. Find ways to lower Dawkins salary, get rid of Morse, and eliminate S. Brown. Do not resign Davis. Harry and Shefield are Jags. Keep Oliver, Jones, Rousseau. Resign Floyd. See what can be done with Miller's contract. Offer to Epenesa but at like 7 mil per year. Lawson is done. Hopefully Milano returns healthy. Bernard is serviceable. Almost other linebackers are cheap backups or replaceable. I would keep Dorisn Williams for a longer look. Tre White, Poyer, Hyde, Neal, J Norman, Hamlin are done or replaceable. Keep Douglas, Benford, Jackson, and find a way to lower T. Johnson's contract. Need an Offensive Coordinator and possibly a new head coach.

Tonight is it! A win on the road let's us know we can beat anyone, even, a team that is tough for us. We know we can go head to head against the Chiefs. We have beat them before. They have nothing outside of Kelce for Mahomes. The Dolphins loss let's us know they can't yet beat good teams on the road. All three losses have been to good teams on the road, including our smashing of them. The only team the Bills have really struggled to match up the last couple of years is for the taking tonight. Yes, it is one game on paper. The coach and player speak of "one game at a time" is out the window on this one. Bills win. We lead the division and should hold off Miami. A loss means we can not sustain enough consistency to win 3-4 straight tough games, including a few road games. A win tonight means we can go in and under the pressure can beat a tough road team. Tonight is the next hurdle. Clear it and we have a puncher's chance to come out of the AFC.

Great story about togetherness and the power of connection and relationships through a shared love of sports. By all accounts, a very nice, hardworking, involved, and solid person. Alas, a below average football player. I think the NFL would be wise to use him in some capacity for various causes that the NFL partners and sports. I believe he would be great at it. And, we would not have to worry about the ramifications of the optics of having to cut the guy.

What teams based off their record, momentum, upcoming schedule, and style of play, makes them overrated or underrated? Curious how people view the AFC contenders. Overrated Chiefs Bills Jacksonville Underrated Ravens Dolphins Bengals I like Bills odds against any teams, but I believe Ravens and Cincy are the two teams that would be least ideal playoff matchup.

Bottom-feeding? No. The new and realistic expectation is to compete for a title though. Poor game management, play calling, lack of utilizing players, and major inconsistencies on both sides of the ball is what is frustrating. Sure, we are an above average team and likely playoff bound; however, the last 4 weeks is looking like a pattern that is going to hinder any realistic shot at being s contender in the end.

Allen, Davis, and Shakir.

Let's call this for what this really is. Lynch decides 10+ years later to get a few eyeballs and comments and to stir a narrative that fits conveniently for him and sometimes actually happens. A more fitting narrative is that a guy who grew up around the nightlife, poverty, and also the bright lights of a large city like Oakland and its warm weather did not find Buffalo appealing. He was in his early 20s, frontal lobe not developed, and he did not endear himself to the community. He also played with the Bills during the drought era and was far away from family and familiarity. He also had money and did not have choir boy behavior. Was he a solid running back, yes. Some of his runs with Seattle and his "not getting fined" comments were hilarious. Was there some profiling. Sure. Lynch also consciously or not certainly decided to cause the attention that draws law enforcement to you.

Christmas or Thanksgiving with my family. Football is fantastic, but family is my favorite.

My high school team was so good that we played like 4 homecoming games in a row each year! There was nothing better than getting curb stomped by a team looking for their one and only win of the season against my team during their homecoming game. 😥 Our team won 4 games combined my junior and senior year, and we went like 1-7 in those homecoming games for our school and the others. The silver lining of being so horrible is we had little pressure on us, so the halftime speech was not painful or too fiery. I did get to play against Donte Stallworth twice. Let's just say that my goal was holding him under 150 yards receiving and no more than two touchdowns. I went 1-1 in those games.😀

Now is the time for our 3-4 people who said they played in the NFL or coached in the NFL to give us some more details of their background.

5 Things #1. Dorsey needs a "you suck" st your job with an ultimatum to get more consistent. #2. Get Mike Evans #3. Stop the shotgun draw #4. Utilize Cook and Murray more to change up pace and out of backfield. #5. If you can't get Mike Evans, then game plan with Kincaid in mind or find confidence in a receiver not named Diggs who Allen stares at the whole time. Bonus: Davis, Knox, Sherfield, and Harty should not be in next year's plans if at all possible.

Seriously...the Bills have one offensive play. Go to Diggs. Cook ran well, but everyone else is either a JAG, overpaid, under utilized, or not a fit.

I am at a loss for words about how poorly this game went, yet it's still a "W." We saw the 49ers and Eagles lose. The good news is that the Chiefs, Bengals, Dolphins, Ravens, and Jacksonville are all very flawed teams. The bad news is we are a really good team about 50% of the time. Hopefully the games that matter the most for playoff seeding and playoffs will look like how we played Miami. More questions than answers on this offense. It's really good or really bad. Shoot, even Bass-O-Matic had to be inconsistent tonight. Still, it's a "W" 😕

Is there another weapon other than Diggs? This is like a playground offense.

Other than a QB Sneak, every play should be designed for 4+ years.

As has been mentioned, playaction passes and rollouts are great ways of establish the running game and vice versa. Using Murray and Harris more often to establish that the Bills can pound the rock a bit opens up the offense. Utilizing more of the field outside the hash marks also keeps defenses more honest in coverages which opens up some space for runs. And, of course, not running delayed draw plays and in loving that third option (Kincaid in mid passing game, Cook on short screens, Sherfield or Harty on a jet sweep can open up the passing game. If the Bills average 400 yards of offense, an ideal split would be 270 yards passing and 130 yards running.

Beane will keep options open. If something makes sense and can raise the level of play, then go for it. If not, it is a chance to see the young guys step up. Just keep eyes and ears open on bettering the team. Let's see how the next few weeks play out.

What a great win! Allen proved to media doubters that his slower start did not mean he was no longer a top 3 QB. When he plays like he did today, he is the best player in the NFL. The Defensive line proved that Tua and the Miami offense is good, but they can be held in check. Bills are the more complete team. What a confidence building win. Let's keep the momentum on both sides of the ball. Bills are as good if not better than any team this season. Loved seeing the Bills "Squish the Tua Fish."

Buy: Bass-O-Matic. The man should get 3 field goals this game. Hold: Ed Oliver. Still having solid season but Miami's running and quick passing will mean a quality but not great game from Oliver. Sell: AJ Espensa..probably his best game ever as a pro. Believe he had improved but not pro bowl, all pro, or above average defense end level.

Sign Bo Jackson to run for us and Tim Tebow to pray for us. Heehe!

So nice to see a complete game today. Amazing defensive play with 7 sacks and 4 picks. Allen was efficient. Running game had good moments with and without Allen. Bass did his thing with 3 field goals. Martin boomed his punt when needed. Great all-around game. Would have liked to see Diggs or Kincaid in the endzone and one of those field goals a touchdown, but all phases of the game were very good today. Go Bills!

Agree with the majority of points, and kudos to the OP for the topic. 24 hour sports cycle, a flooded market of opinions, quick access to YouTube, cell phones, ridiculous salaries, and the movement away from actual journalism all are culprits of the horrific drop in quality. It is why I am opposed to Thursday Night football. I think it actually waters down the overall product. Like any organization, if you expand too quickly, push an agenda, don't innovate, or lose focus by trying to reach/market to everyone, quality drops. Ask Disney, The Federal Government, the Roman Empire, California, or Hollywood writers for more details on how to take a nose dive. 😉
